Kreator
Endless Pain

THE REVIEW

An album, to say the least, historic for the German thrash scene.
With the new name Kreator, the former Tormentor led by the legendary Milan "Mille" Petrozza (guitar-vocals), Jurgen Reil better known as "Ventor" (drums-vocals), and Rob Fioretto (bass), debuted in the distant 1985 with 10 tracks of pure violence in full thrash-black style.

Endless Pain kicks off the massacre right with the title track, where the harrowing screams of a more aggressive than ever Ventor, who at the time was criticized as one of the worst drummers around, while now he is an authentic war machine as precise as a clock, begin the demolition of our eardrums!!!!!
The assault continues with another sonic atrocity called "Total Death" where instead an immature Mille's voice singing in typically black metal screams without yet the famous vocal timbre that will distinguish him in the subsequent works of the Teutonic demon.
The kreatorian work proceeds well without particular lowering of tone through the good "Storm Of The Beast" until reaching the subsequent legendary "Tormentor," a song still fixed in live setlists of thrashers... truly devastating the power it unleashes!!!
Right after we have a "Son Of Evil" that gives us no respite before reaching another true masterpiece of the band that along with "Tormentor" represents an authentic anthem for thrashers all over the world: "Flag Of Hate"!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's time to raise the flag of hate!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the song, raising the qualitative level of the album proves difficult for the band, but Mille takes up the challenge by concocting four more gems named "Cry War," "Bonebreaker," "Living In Fear," "Dying Victims".
Additionally, the recent reissue of the work contains four bonus tracks derived from the group's previous demos.
THRASH TILL DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
